Chapter 327 I Want to Report You
Though Master Lin had dismissed it as a lie, Ashile grew even more suspicious. Could it be that the Great Hua had secretly prepared an elite force to wage a do-or-die battle with his Turkic Khanate? This matter was of grave importance, and he had to inform the Khan ahead of time. Yi Seung-Jae, on the other hand, had a different train of thought. Indeed, the military strength of Great Hua was robust, surpassing that of Goryeo by several times. He must report this truthfully to his father, the king.
"Boom, boom—" Two plumes of black smoke billowed into the sky, and the earth-shattering blast caused a buzzing in everyone's ears. Ashile and Yi Seung-Jae's faces changed, Palace Lady Seo was frightened into covering her ears, and Lin Wanrong shouted angrily, "Where did the cannon fire come from? Where did it come from?"
A common soldier hurried over to report, "My Lord, the new recruits from the Divine Machine Unit are practicing with the cannons. They are not accurate, disturbing my lord. Please forgive us."
Lin Wanrong hummed, "New recruits practicing with cannons is not an issue, but scaring our esteemed guests with such reckless firing is unforgivable. Do you know who this is? This is the special envoy from the Turkic Khanate. Do you know who the other person is? That is the prince of Goryeo, along with the beautiful Lady Jang Geum. If they were scared, Du Xiuyuan, could you bear the responsibility? Come on, drag him away—"
Du Xiuyuan paled with fear, his eyes wide with terror. Lin Wanrong smirked inwardly. It was a waste of talent for Brother Du not to go into film.
Seeing Master Lin's anger, Ashile hurriedly intervened, "Master Lin, your new recruits didn't know we were coming. This is an understandable situation, please don't blame them."
Jang Geum was very kind-hearted. Seeing Master Lin flexing his authority and his soldiers looking pitifully helpless, her compassion flared. She walked over to Lin Wanrong and softly said, "My Lord, they committed this error unintentionally. Please spare them. Jang Geum is very grateful for your benevolence."
"Is that so?" Lin Wanrong pondered for a moment, "Since Lord Ashile and Lady Jang Geum have pleaded on your behalf, I suppose I can let this pass this time."
